Does anyone have any ideas of how to protect my new seedlings from birds,
snails, etc. Organically?
I will be placing them out in the garden this week and was thinking of putting
a chicken wire housing over them so that they make it into adulthood.
Any other suggestions?
Looks like there are some gardeners out there who could help.

Go to Jo-Anns or Michaels or Walmart and buy a bolt (or however many
yards) of netting you might need. It comes in widths from 36" to 120"
and you will find it in the bridal department. Last year about now I
was able to purchase approx. 50 yards for 10 dollars US. from the
clearance section. Sure it - is - bright pink - but hey I grow Orange
Cauliflower!

Good Luck,
Mutti
